What is the fund’s
goal?
The
goal is to provide supplies to elementary, middle and high school students attending the five school
districts in the Piscataquis area (MSAD #4, #41, #46, #68 and Union #60. Parents register their
students to receive a starter pack of supplies, which may include pencils, pens, crayons, markers, paper
binders, notebooks, etc. These items allow students to begin the school year feeling prepared and ready to
learn.
Families in
need.
Last year the Smart Starts for Students Fund
provided support to 215 families or 428 students. With current economic conditions, more families may rely on
us for much needed assistance in getting their students ready for the school year.
Please
help.
Each
year, Penquis has responded to requests for assistance from area families, As in previous years, we need your
help to prepare students to have a Smart Start to the school
year.
